Lense for Nikon D40x

[girlizz]

I once bought a pair of earphones from a shop in People's Park SC - I had dealt with them before and found them ok. This round, they quoted me an inflated price and gave me a discounted price (after some bargaining). The discounted price turned out to be higher than the RRP, which pissed me off a bit. Initially, I thought of putting this down as a lesson to be learned since they were inexpensive earphones. Finally, I wrote to the shop, stating that I was of the view that they had committed an unfair practice and demanded a refund, failing which I would take legal action. They paid up :thumbsup:

In any case (pun ), CASE is not the final arbiter, it is the Small Claims Tribunal. If its a case of your word against the vendor's, when it goes before the Small Claims Tribunal, the judge will listen to both sides and will have to decide which party is more credible.

Call their bluff and, if you think appropriate, file a claim in the Small Claims Tribunal. Even if your claim is dismissed, you have the satisfaction of dragging them down to give you a "polite" and proper explanation in front of the judge. Never give up if you think that you are right ... Just download the claim forms and see what is required on your end.

Actually I'm quite worried to pursue.. would they track me down and start kacau me at home? Errr... too much gangster movies but...mmm.. that's not impossible.. :dunno:

Its your call on whether to pursue this. Further details on the process can be found here: http://app.subcourts.gov.sg/sct/index.aspx.

Good for you :thumbsup: At least, you would not have this feeling of being the powerless victim. Unless I am mistaken, CASE can at best persuade the vendor to be honourable about the matter. I do not believe that they can compel the vendor to do anything.

Hi! I don't know if i'm on the right thread but i'll share my experience with these kind of shops anyway.
I went to Lucky Plaza to buy an airline ticket for me and my wife and I was on the hunt for a dslr as well so just for curiosity I went t the basement and try to ask for prices( though I already went to sim lim the day before and one shop is offering me a D4ox kit for 750 plus gst.One shop offered me an 800 for the kit which I said no and when I was about to leave the lasy asked me how much do I expect so I said in SLS one shop is giving me 700.the she said ok 600 plus gst.I was surprised so I went to the nearest ATM and withdraw money and came back.The lady asked me to pay first anyway she confirmed that it's complete kit.I pay her my 650 and she took out the box.She told me if i'm slr user before and I said yes.When I want to try it out there's no battery and charger!So I told her i confirmed to her that it was a kit and sans the accessories but battery and charger is a must!she told me she gave me a really good price and I wanted battery and charger.That's the reason I kept on asking her if it's complete and she said yes.and the worst she doesnt want to give back my money!I know its a very good price but your'e deceiving your customers.I was in a shock.She told me to wait for her boss to come in the evening (it's currently 1030 am ) for the refund.I myself comes from managing a shop in an F&B industry can't believe it.She doesn't want me to give the owner's handphone nne of the male attendant whispered and said I might as well buy anything from the shop.now they are offering me handphone,SD card, camera bag that are overpriced.Thinking that I don't want to release the beast in me, I bought an overpriced UV filter Vitacon for $43.and I got my 607 change.:angry:

Somehow I started to blame myself.maybe because I'm new in the Dslr market and I was caught.I was completely robbed in broad daylight!

So if you got the vitacon filter for $25 or $30, don't fret. mine is more expensive.

I vowed not to buy or ask anything electronic or any items from these shops in LP.

Hope this will help.

the only safe shop there is LORDS but is always safer to get an e-quote from them 1st before going down.

The only shop that is safe in SLS is Alan Photo. The others are con shops. Sorry to hear about you being cheated. Next time before purchasing any photo eqpt, log in to Clubsnap and ask around first.

Cheers.

orient photo is not bad also...but they carry grey sets as well so ask 1st before purchasing.
best is to get an e-quote as well.
